"Grab a handful of sand, and it will just flow through your fingers. No matter how you keep it, it will pass away slowly. Time represents life. Time cannot be redeemed, but life can continue. Drink it, its shelf life is only 10 minutes...!" Dried up the green liquid in the cup in one gulp, left the fragrance in his mouth, feeling the active cells, Chen Rui murmured comfortably.

"You don't seem like someone who can say such philosophical words, but it does make sense. Since you can't save time, let's make life more exciting." Unnaturally moving, Pang Lao can feel that in the After drinking the liquid, the wound on his back recovered and scarred extremely quickly. In just a few breaths, he found that he seemed to be a few years younger, and the hidden injuries he suffered from practicing martial arts when he was young were fully recovered.

The magic of the liquid can be seen. The two of them closed their eyes slightly, and the surging vitality involuntarily radiated and disappeared into the air.

"Is it still a bit of a waste..." Pang Lao is okay, because his skills are solid, although he has absorbed all the magic, but most of the life essence is suppressed by him in the body, and after waiting for consumption, the life force compressed in the body will be replenished naturally .

Su Min is just an ordinary person. Although Chen Rui deliberately reduced the dose, the huge vitality still exceeds the upper limit of the body's tolerance, and waste is inevitable. Fortunately, Chen Rui has long been prepared to absorb it. [

Life energy is also a kind of energy, and the life energy dissipated in the air can also be absorbed and utilized. Of course, compared with drinking it directly, the benefits obtained from this absorption can be said to be dozens of times weaker.

After thinking about it, the three of them got back to the topic. Chen Rui adjusted a comfortable sitting posture, leaned on his right hand, looked at the two of them and said, "Come on, it's so late, what do you have to say at night."

"I've always advocated preparation before action. Of course we won't chat with you at night, although the harvest is beyond imagination..." Pang Lao smiled, and continued: "We are leaving tomorrow, and we are here to ask you about the route of."

"It's just such a small matter? Can't you say it's okay after we leave tomorrow, and are you sure you want to set off with me?"

"Nonsense, I'm not sure what route I'm asking about. Compared with the main soldiers at the base, I feel that you are more reliable."

This is considered to have identified Chen Rui, and Chen Rui didn't know whether to be lucky or to have a headache, "It really flatters me to say that I believe in me, but I don't think it's that simple, so tell me, what's the matter."

"Hey...you're pretty smart. To put it simply, that kid Jiang Shengye will send people along with the team to follow. Of course, they will prepare the supplies along the way, and he promised me that the people who will follow this time are definitely military elites. , at least it won’t hold you back on the road.”

"To be honest, traveling doesn't mean that the more people there are, the safer it is. On the contrary, the more people there are, the bigger the goal is. If I travel by myself, I'm sure I'll arrive at the provincial base within three days. With you guys, I don't know the time will be delayed. How long, unless Jiang Shengye sends out a plane, I estimate that the journey time will be delayed to at least one to two weeks."

"Chen Rui, there are absolutely no planes. Even if there are, there is no real aviation fuel here. We can only drive cars. According to current calculations, there will be about 20 people on the road."

"In this way, Jiang Shengye sent a squad of troops, a squad of military awakeners, he is really generous! It's because of your old face that Jiang Shengye can send a squad of awakeners regardless of the balance of the base's forces. escort."

"Hehe, old man, I don't have such a big face. The one who really has face is Su Min. Jiang Shengye used to be an adjutant under Su Min's father." Pang Lao said with a smile.

"So that's how it is." She glanced at Su Min unexpectedly. Although she knew that she had a great background, she never thought that Su Min and Jiang Shengye had such a relationship.

"I know you don't like to penetrate outsiders at will, so we came here to discuss with you." Su Min's complexion was rosy, and the nourishment just now made her feel comfortable from the inside out.

"It's a discussion. In fact, you are just making a report. Since the matter has been settled, I naturally say so, but I want to make a statement first. It is about a thousand kilometers away from the provincial military area. There will definitely be encounters on the road." Danger, what I want to declare is that if I encounter danger, I will not conditionally help."

"Of course, since we decided to go on the road with you, then we have won the status of a temporary captain for you..."

"Stop, I don't want to be the captain or squad leader. I'm just an ordinary person, so I should choose someone else as the captain. In short, I only have one goal, and that is to reach the provincial capital in the shortest possible time. If there is any reason to delay the process , then, when necessary, it is possible for me to use the method that is most beneficial to me to achieve the basic goal."

"I completely agree. I believe that Jiang Shengye will not object to your conditions. Let me talk about this first. Chen Rui, what route are we going to follow? If you have a goal, can you explain it first?"

"No problem, this kind of thing will be said sooner or later, wait a moment..." Chen Rui got up, walked to the head of the bed, took out a USB flash drive from his backpack, inserted it into the computer that came with the room, and Chen Rui clicked to call out The most detailed electronic map of the province.

The map is made by the system. In terms of details, this map is even more comprehensive than the military map. It is so comprehensive that it covers every mountain, every river, and even some villages that do not exist on the map. representation. [

Looking directly at the map on the screen, Chen Rui said: "This is where we are. According to the actual road ratio, if we go in a straight line to reach the provincial capital, we will have to drive about 500 kilometers. However, You also know that an absolute straight line does not exist, unless we use an airplane, we can only go around slowly." The straight line distance blocks mountains, rivers and forests. In addition to natural obstacles, cities full of zombies are also important to go around. Place.

"In fact, our city W is close to an eight-lane highway that has been opened to traffic. The total length of the highway is 560 kilometers. If you drive at full speed, it will take less than a day to drive from here to the provincial capital. There is no way to drive at high speed throughout the journey, so we can only choose to make detours..."

"In a word, if you let me say it now, I'm not sure what route we will follow. If it goes well, we can even drive all the way to the finish line, but the probability of this idea is really very low."

In the early morning of the second day, Chen Rui woke up early, opened the door, and outside the door, the staff waiting for Chen Rui politely took Chen Rui to the restaurant. Chen Rui was not too late, but before he came , Wang Chao and Cheng Shao were already waiting here and said hello, and Chen Rui sat down in Cheng Shaoqiang's starting position unceremoniously.

Jiang Shengye was sitting on the main seat, seeing Chen Rui sitting down, Jiang Shengye smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to be so early."

Chen Rui didn't wake up early on purpose, it was because of the biological clock in his previous life, when it was six o'clock in the morning, no matter how tired he was, he would wake up on time at six o'clock.

"Compared to you, I'm still late. What I didn't expect was that Chief Jiang would wake up so early."

"Haha, the habit is completely a habit maintained in the military camp. Go to bed early and get up early. I'm afraid this habit will never be broken." Jiang Shengye said with a smile, who knows, it is this sentence, Chen Rui is right His goodwill suddenly went up a notch.

He can maintain his military habits, and his self-discipline will not be far behind. Facts have also proved that in Heguang Town, Jiang Shengye's reputation is indeed higher than that of Sun Qi, the secretary of the municipal party committee.

When Chen Rui was seated, Jiang Shengye would naturally not let the atmosphere stand cold, find something to say, and experience the art of language. Although he did not have Sun Qi's eloquence, the topics he talked about would naturally not make Chen Rui feel really depressed.

Not long after, everyone came to the dining room one by one, and the food was served immediately, simple porridge, various noodles, and a few side dishes. Although simple, this table is considered rich for breakfast.

Although they have different thoughts, on the surface, Jiang Shengye still represents the master. He didn't move his chopsticks, and everyone in the room was rude to eat first, including Chen Rui. Although he disliked this unwritten rule, he lived in In this world, some face is naturally not easy to tear.

Fortunately, Jiang Shengye is not a nagging person. After chatting with everyone, he immediately greeted everyone to move his chopsticks at the same time.

Coincidentally, before everyone was about to move their chopsticks, Sun Qi, the government No. [-], also stepped into the private room of the restaurant, without a trace of embarrassment on his face, as soon as he entered the door, he suddenly smiled and said: "Old Jiang, you are really Yes, since I'm with you guys for dinner, why didn't you notify me, sorry, I'm a little late, so I don't want to drink in the early morning, I'll offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

In other words, Sun Qi's status is also on the bright side. As the head of the government, as long as he has concerns, everyone will give him this face, including Jiang Shengye. On the bright side, the two are allies. Almost the same, seeing Sun Qi drinking the tea, Jiang Shengye also smiled and said: "Secretary Sun, since you are here, you can't just have a drink, sit down quickly, if it wasn't for fear of delaying your work, I would have sent someone to invite you gone."

The discrepancy between face and heart is a true portrayal of the two people. Although the struggle for power did not appear on the surface, both of them vaguely regarded each other as a stumbling block to their own progress. With the arrival of Sun Qi, the atmosphere gradually became weird.

Hurry up to eat, and no one was in the mood to continue chatting. With Sun Qi present, Jiang Shengye couldn't express some words clearly, but unlike him, Sun Qi's ablation became more natural. Facing Mr. Pang, his expression He said softly: "Old Pang, I know that you are leaving the base today, so I brought the most powerful Awakened under my command. If you agree, I want them to escort you all the way to the provincial capital. The vehicles are fully prepared, and they will accompany you on the old trip, I don’t think this will bring unnecessary burdens to you.”
